I just learned that my current/soon to be former employer will terminate my benefits (medical, dental, vision, drug coverage, etc) as of my last day. Did the standards change?

Dental and vision is usually day of. Health should be until the end of the month in which your employment ended. If your last day is the month's end, all benefits expire that day.

So what they're doing is unnecessarily cheap, petty, or a because they're a bunch of jerks.

Fortunately, unfortunately I'm leaving on my own so can't get cobra covered. It's $700+ and I'm not sure if that covers my (prescription) drug costs.
I just don't think that anyone should be put in this situation in the first place - leaving for a new job, fired, retiring or whatever. Jobs don't validate our lives for affordable medical care.

My last agency (left 2 years ago) did that too. My first couple of jobs it lasted through end of the month ☹️

I ended up just risking the ~2 weeks being uninsured. You can backdate Cobra.

This happened to me as well. Of course they took the same amount of money out of my check for healthcare. And this was during covid, too. The people who run our agencies hate us.

Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
